One thing they skip over in these discussions about meditation is where meditation practices emerged and why.<p>If you look at that history across religions, one thing to note is the environment is totally disconnected from rest of society. That wasn&#x27;t an accident. The brain chemistry, all kinds of structures within, change based on whats happening in the environment. So its not just a story about controlling Attention but also a story of controlling the environment.<p>Once this disconnected environment is created why did they need meditation?<p>Cause they were struggling to handle what the Reward Circuits of the brain + PFC are programmed over zillion years to feed off the environment. Which is Purpose, Connection, Validation&#x2F;Praise etc. Monks struggle with this stuff once they get isolated and meditation was one of the answers.<p>The joke today is we don&#x27;t live in a monastery (disconnected space) but an Attention Economy which has emerged because people might have limited Attention to give anything, but they have unlimited capacity to receive Attention.
